Abstract

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis previously called Wegener's granulomatosis is quite a rare condition that affects multiple organs. It's a serious disorder marked by inflammation that causes tissue damage in the upper and lower respiratory tract, glomerulonephritis, and vasculitis, which can be fatal. This illness can present in either a limited or generalized form. The limited version tends to progress slowly, while the more widespread form can rapidly lead to failure of multiple organs. One of the challenges in diagnosing is that its early symptoms are nonspecific.

We are presenting a case of 16-year-old girl come in with a rather unusual presentation. Her symptoms kicked off with strawberry gingivitis and swelling of the salivary glands. In our report, we delve into the details of her clinical signs, what we found on the radiological scans, and how we approached treatment.

草莓状牙龈炎和唾液腺肿大是小儿肉芽肿伴多血管炎的首发症状，采用多模式综合诊断--病例报告

多发性肉芽肿病（Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis）以前称为韦格纳肉芽肿病，是一种影响多个器官的罕见疾病。它是一种严重的疾病，以炎症为特征，会导致上呼吸道和下呼吸道组织损伤、肾小球肾炎和血管炎，并可能致命。这种疾病可表现为局限性或全身性。局限型往往进展缓慢，而广泛型则会迅速导致多个器官衰竭。诊断的难点之一在于它的早期症状没有特异性。我们现在介绍一例 16 岁女孩的病例，她的表现相当不寻常。她的症状以草莓状牙龈炎和唾液腺肿胀开始。在报告中，我们将详细介绍她的临床症状、放射扫描结果以及治疗方法。
